By Inferno's Light Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 112 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 117 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 107 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's C's. Note that Enhanced By Inferno's Light would have been 5 special packs with set card lists, and B's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

[C156-160] Chocolate to Chopin

Indulge your sweet tooth... THE ENTRIES: [156] chocolate truffle [157] chocolate [158] cholera [159] cholic acid [160] Chopin's Trio in G Minor NOTES:  [156] Why Targs? Because actual truffles are dug up by boars, there's why. ;-) Source: Referenced in "The Q and the Grey"; pic from online recipe (as is often the case for Food cards), I couldn't resist the pink cloth which reminded me of Latinum Payoff. [157] Yes, Troi can be persona-switched for free at the same location. Source: "The Game" [158] The Interrupt isn't discarded unless nullified. The personnel needs not be at the same spaceline location as the TL. Source: "Time's Arrow" [159] Counts as an "older Klingon species". The ruling would be that you can still use Klingon-specific cards on it, though it counts as a separate species for Hate Crime, etc. Source: "Genesis" [160] Source: "Lessons" Next up: All personnel... Cards: Chocolate Truffle, Chocol...

[C151-155] Chiratan Tea to Chloroplast

But Gardening isn't a skill in the game, right? THE ENTRIES: [151] Chiratan tea [152] chlorinide [153] chlorobicrobes [154] chloromydride [155] chloroplast NOTES:  [151] Source: "Second Sight" [152] Different effect if the personnel chosen was at a particular site. Source: "Ethics" [153] The Interrupt stays on Airponics Bay until nullified if the second function is chosen. Source: "Progress" [154] An Adapt of sorts, it works like Terraforming Station in that skills can only be redefined as skills, classifications as classifications, attributes as attributes, etc. Source: "Ethics" (rather than a boring shot of doctors working - there are already many of these - Troi as back-up parent for Alexander from the same episode) [155] While all Drought Trees are protected, only one present with the target personnel can be worth double points. Its points go back down to 7 if the personnel leaves that location. Source: While the entry references "Tu...

[C146-150] Children of Tama to Chime

We need more Children of Tama... THE ENTRIES: [146] Children of Tama [147] Children's Center [148] chili burrito [149] Chilton, Ensign Nell [150] chime, Betazoid NOTES:  [146] I took the name Vorath from the Tama's lore. Since that lore also mentions Picard and Dathon, I thought it credible that it could name the Tama's first officer, rather than another mythological figure. A lot of fun writing in Tamarian. Source: "Darmok" [147] Source: "Imaginary Friend" [148] If the personnel is already at a Time Location, the "present" may be considered a different time location. You cannot relocate a personnel to a space location if no ship is present to sustain its life. Source: "Future's End, Part II" [149] Source: "All Good Things..." [150] The free card play does not count as your normal card play, of course, but can also be played at any time an Interrupt could. It still needs a personnel to upkeep it. Source: "Haven...

[C141-145] Ches'sarro to The Child

It's Tom Paris's world, we're only living in it... THE ENTRIES: [141] Ches'sarro [142] Chevy [143] Chez Sandrine [144] chicken à la Sisko [145] "Child, The" NOTES:  [141] A personnel card that works with another affiliation without counting as a member of that affiliation for purposes of reporting, compatibility, etc. Source: "Necessary Evil" [142] The STRENGTH bonus only goes to the total STRENGTH, not to each personnel. Dual-personnel status confers all the advantages and disadvantages of that card type. The artifact isn't discarded if the "dual" personnel dies. Source: "Lifesigns" [143] Alcoholic Food cards are referred to as ales, beers, wines, champagnes, spirits or simply as alcoholic drinks in their lore. I never got to Sandrine and Ricky; they will be Broken Links. Source: "The Cloud" [144] Father and son pairs are mentioned in individual personnel's lore. Both personnel get the attribute boost. The event...

[C136-140] Chen to Cherry Pie

Let's have some pie... THE ENTRIES: [136] Chen, Governor [137] Cheney, Ensign [138] cherel sauce [139] Cheron, Battle of [140] cherry pie NOTES:  [136] Source: Referenced in "Past Tense Parts I and II" [137] The Federation's sole Music mission specialist. Source: "Lessons" [138] The Drayans aged in reverse, thus the card's ability. Takka Berries will have to be a Broken Link. Source: Referenced in "Innocence" [139] The Time Location can be played at any Neutral Zone region location, either space or planet (that's why both icons are on there). This could be used to impair or enhance PNZ (Patrol Neutral Zone) strategies. Source: Referenced in "The Defector"; pic from Romulan War novels (Enterprise range) [140] Your opponent can have more than 2 captives if those extra captives have Brainwash played on them, so we're strictly talking about a limit on personnel in the "captive area". Your opponent chooses which are the ...

[C131-135] Chee'lash to Chell

A TOS personnel sneaks in... THE ENTRIES: [131] chee'lash [132] CHEGH-chew  jaj-VAM jaj-KAK [133] Chekote, Admiral [134] Chekov, Pavel A. [135] Chell Decipher's version for comparison: For those who like it both ways: Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [131] A Cooking Ressikan Flute, but only works with cooks that are present. It cannot report to non-Food-serving locations, but can be moved from there afterwards. If returned to hand (if not upkept), it must report to Food-serving site once again. Source: "Hard Time" [132] Your Klingons can't be killed by your own cards. This includes suicide missions against dilemmas you seeded, Auto-Destruct Sequences, berserk Jem'Hadar allies, etc. If your opponent takes control of your cards (Brainwash, Alien Parasites, what have you), those cards are considered to be theirs, but the dying Klingons are still "yours". Source: "The Way of the Warrior" [133] Works kind of like Emergency Transpor...

[C126-130] Chateau to Chech'tluth

Let's drink some bubbly... THE ENTRIES: [126] Chateau Cleon [127] Chateau Coeur [128] Chateau Lafite Rothschild [129] Chateau Picard [130] chech'tluth NOTES:  [126] Only that particular instance of the ship is affected, not the entire squadron of same universal ships. Tougher for Romulans and Bajorans to wing, but they have a lot of matching commanders already. Source: "The Adversary" [127] French personnel include all the Picards and Louis (eventually in AtoZ), but also some of the holographic characters at Chez Sandrine. Source: Referenced in "Future's End" [128] Referenced in "The Chute" [129] If you have any question as to the second clause, just watch "Family" again and listen to Jean-Luc and Robert's drunk singing. The Family card will show up in AtoZ, it is unrelated to the 2E card of that name. Source: Referenced frequently, for example in "Family" [130] Source: "Up The Long Ladder" Next up: A TOS perso...

[C121-125] Chapman to The Chase

How I predicted a 2E card... THE ENTRIES: [121] Chapman, Professor [122] Chardis [123] Charleston, USS [124] Charybdis (no card required) [125] "Chase, The" NOTES:  [121] Source: Referenced in "Parallax" [122] Since the Voyager expansion made The Swarm a dilemma and disrupted my special skill, I'll have to create a Broken Link card simply called Swarm. We'll see what that turns out to be, but it won't just be a dilemma. Source: "The Swarm" [123] Source: First referenced in "The Neutral Zone" [124] Exists as The Charybdis, an event from the Q-Continuum expansion. [125] Missions that say "Any Away Team/crew may attempt" are included in the trigger missions. The design predates 2nd Edition's "Common Ground", and I chose the same picture without realizing. Source: "The Chase" Next up: Let's drink some bubbly. Cards: Professor Chapman, Chardis, USS Charleston, Common Ground

[C116-120] Chandra to Channing

Chang, but not General Chang... THE ENTRIES: [116] Chandra (no card required) [117] Chang, Tac Officer [118] changeling infant [119] changeling (no card required) [120] Channing, Dr. NOTES:  [116] Exists as Chula: The Chandra, a dilemma from The Dominion expansion. [117] Since not much is known about Tac Officer Chang, I admit to filling in the blanks. The MEDICAL is a homage to his role in the long-gone TV series, Quincey, but we could link it to his evaluation of cadets' physical fitness. Source: "Coming of Age" [118] Now everyone has access to changelings. Source: "The Begotten" [119] Well represented by Shape-Shift, an interrupt from The Dominion expansion. [120] Needed a way to disrupt Intermix Ratio. Source: Referenced in "Lonely Among Us"; pic from "Time's Arrow" Next up: How I predicted a 2E card. Cards: Chang, Changeling Infant, Dr, Channing

[C111-115] Champion to Chandra V

How about a Gowron? THE ENTRIES: [111] Champion Standing [112] Champs Élysées [113] Chamra Vortex (no card required) [114] chancellor [115] Chandra V Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [111] The personnel reverts to its normal attributes and is worth 0 points if part of a crew, a captive or dead. Source: "Parallels" [112] A cheap date. Source: Referenced in "Imaginary Friend" [113] Exists as the mission Investigate Rumors in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [114] Martok Founder and Sisko and crew's Klingon personas are included in the reporting deal. His special abilities could help an opponent. Decipher came out with a Chancellor Gowron in the Holodeck Adventures expansion. Source: "The House of Quark" [115] Could be a 30-pointer if you have time to spare. The Away Team that must stay must include every personnel present upon solving, after those dilemmas are cleared. Of course, the mission can be done with 2 personnel (Tam and a big diploma...
